Windows Vista: worth the money?
supersheep:
There's one about ten posts up, posted by Daniel. I am seriously considering Linux in the near-to-mid future. I'd rather use WINE and take the performance hit than have a crippled system.
öde:
Wine doesn't actually hamper performance at all (e.g. UT2k4 runs just as fast wine'd as it does on the linux version, although 99% of the files are the same). The problem is lots of software isn't supported on wine (recently tried to get voipbuster, no luck, missing DLLs).
supersheep:
That makes sense - after all it is not an emulator. Doh. What's it like for gaming?

This was on slashdot today.

First, Microsoft's case-by-case approach to Vista patches, which is leaving some problems unpatched until after the consumer release in January. Second, application (in)compatibility. From the article: 'Some of the applications that still aren't compatible with Vista include IBM Corp.'s Lotus Notes e-mail and collaboration suite; Cisco Systems Inc.'s and Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.'s VPN clients; Intuit Corp.'s accounting software QuickBooks 2006 and earlier versions; and anti-virus (AV) software from Trend Micro Inc.'"
